I took a break and . . .

. . . what a difference a week (o-kay, perhaps more than a week!) makes! I haven't picked up the mystery shawl since clue #4 was released. I was feeling a bit obsessive over it, and found myself re-knitting a few rows, and generally becoming miserable. I put it down, knit a few other things, and finally picked it back up last night. I knit from row 171 right through the end of clue #3, and I am ready for clue #4 (all 100 rows of it). Now this is just in time for the release of tomorrow's clue! I am a bit behind! But I made some sock progress, as well as some clementine progress.

All of a sudden

I had no plan, and yet, I walked out of the lys, with 5 skeins of Tahki Cotton Classic (color 3411--but let's call it persimmon, shall we?), just happened to have my size 4s with me, and started the Clementine Shawlette (IK, spring '07).


I thought, afterwards, this might be my little summer pick-me-up . . . I wasn't even aware I needed one!
